We were all trying different things to try to get it to work, and our coach jumped in to check the ethernet cable because he figured that a small penalty was better than us not moving the entire match.

That didn't fix the problem, but the penalty didn't affect the outcome of the match anyway. And we're still not sure what happened, our robot magically worked directly after that match when we tried it tethered.. and the momentary cutouts happened to our entire alliance all three quarter final matches. Anyway.. I won't air any of our grievances on that note, just wanted to make a quick comment on the coach thing. If anyone really cares.

Thanks for clarifying it.
